They're bretty gud. I have a 2013 and really like it. Haven't bought gas in like two months, with my last DD I was at the gas station once every two weeks.
Does the generator work well enough that you can drive across the country if you want?

Get fucked faggot
Sup br/o/s
My neighbour down the street is moving and he wants to sell his 1991 BMW 850i.
1991 850i
V12
Auto 4 SPD
120,000kms
$8000 Canadian dollaroos
As a trucker-fag, I'm barely home two days in a week so I'll prolly add very little kms etc. But how high of a chance is it that it'll leave me stranded etc?
Also, what are common things to look for on 1991 models etc.

Why would you ever?
I don't know this specific one, but letting a car sit around and hardly ever move it will ruin it in a heartbeat.

The only manual 8 series being sold around me has 201,000kms

I dunno, 100kms/week should keep all the fluids flowing and rubber from hardening, no?

Me, then I wait outside to befriend the guy who had the same taste as me. We proceed to jerk each other off in the parking lot. It's nice. You should try being social sometime, OP.

Hi everyone,
I never came to /o/ before but I'm a first time car buyer and I wanted some advice.
Quick background: been driving for 7 years, parents bought first car, then used public transportation for a few years with a handful of rentals here and there.
I found a local dealership selling a 2007 Ford Mustang Premium convertible, stick shift, with 120k miles and every possible addon for $6999 (but can probably negotiate it down to ~6500).
Took it for a small test drive today and didn't see any problems, except the gear shift seemed a bit...

120k is a bit much desu...
i you don't need the car for daily transport and can afford one or two major ($600-1500) repairs it might be ok
otherwise find something else
>>15392378
So I'm looking to drive to work and back ~12 miles each way plus regular driving, should be about 10k miles per year. Do you think this would be a problem?
>>15392369
You're right, but in the 6k price range I'm likely to get pretty high mileage...
Manual fuckery
Hey /o/ I learned how to ride a motorcycle long before I learned to drive a car. I need to start driving though now, and I don't want a pleb tier automatic. I can drive a manual and not grind gears and shit, but it feels extremely awkward and I'm very slow.
I'd be more comfortable shifting up and down with my foot and clutching with my hand. Is this possible/does it exist or should I kill myself

Motorcycle.
In a car, I've never seen anything like what you want.

Should have taken him to the toegay and rescued his hot qt3.14 passenger after he plows off a cliff
so sell your car and put it on a downpayment for a hellcat
then when your hellcat feels too slow rinse and repeat until you're the king of the streets on your turbo hayabusa with a 200 shot
>>15392220
thats what you get for not getting a turbo
Why didn't they make a v8 Manual?
>>15391965
Why didn't they use ecoboost instead?
Manual generally isn't useful in pickups.
>>15391965
Why should it?
It's a utility truck and it benefits more from that with a torque converter.
>2016
>not driving a state of the art engineered CVT (continuous variable torque)
I guess you need to get out of the basement before getting out of base model Mustang and 3 series kek
my torque varies upon which gear I have it in and how much I push down on the accelerator
>>15391806
>ecoboost
>CVT
literally the recipe to grenade your car
That car looks hideous af. cvt a shit also fuck honda for making that a standard auto
I want to buy an Escalade soon, but I feel luxury cars are unrealiable and only made for dumb guillable niggers who get them leased.

> luxury cars are unrealiable and only made for dumb guillable niggers who get them leased.
Well there you have it
Escalades are decently reliable as far as luxury cars go. It shares most of its parts with the plentiful Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon and has a solid drive train.
If you decide to go for a Benz SUV instead you might get a bit of a smoother ride, but you'll also get exponentially higher repair costs.
